Description

Hi, we're Jonas, Trevor, and Dan, the crew behind Hello Weather. There are a million weather apps out there, and they're all overloaded with ugly ads, confusing interfaces, and stupid gimmicks. We think that stinks, so we made the antidote—a straightforward, no-nonsense app that’s a joy to use!

Five reasons why you’ll love planning your day with Hello Weather...

1. All the info you need is right in your face.Our gorgeous, information-rich design shows you everything that matters in one simple screen. You’ll see the current conditions and future forecast in an instant.

2. You won’t waste time looking at useless stuff.Hello Weather intelligently adapts to changing conditions. When it's stormy, you’ll see all the relevant details right upfront. When conditions improve, it’s all tucked neatly out of the way again.

3. You’ll get predictions you can trust.Hello Weather is more than a pretty face. It’s powered by the world’s best data sources: Dark Sky, AccuWeather, Weather Underground, and The Weather Company. Pick the provider that's best in your area, or switch back and forth to compare. (Upgrade required.)

4. You don’t need to be a weather expert.What does barometric pressure mean? Is the dewpoint good or bad? We translated those esoteric stats into human words, so you’ll know how it really feels outside.

== Hello Weather 3.2: The Way Better Forecasts Edition ==

Hey everyone, we're back with a bunch of great new updates! Here's what's new:

• Better icons for weather conditions.We designed a much wider range of icons that show a lot more detail, and they’re themed for day and night. They're awesome. Now you'll also see icons in the hourly forecast, and sunrise/sunset times too. Finally!

• Extra Wind Speeds mode.Some folks really need to know about wind—sailors, pilots, bikers, mountain climbers, kite flyers, people peeing outside, etc. If that sounds like you, you’ll like this new wind option! Just head over to the Settings screen and pick Weather Units, then flip on wind mode. You'll be all set to pee freely.

• Smarter daily forecasts, and a new look ahead for tomorrow’s weather.Daily forecasts are now sliced into blocks of time. As the day goes on, you’ll see the app automatically transition through morning, afternoon, evening, and tonight/tomorrow. That way you can always know what’s happening in the next meaningful moment.

• Dates in the weekly forecast.This is a small but helpful thing — we added the date (number) below each day in the weekly forecast. Much better for event planning when you don’t have a calendar handy.

• Rain and snow accumulation estimates.We just made it through a snowy Chicago winter, and we noticed that we didn’t have as much info about accumulation totals as we’d like. So we added a lot of tricky math and text parsing to make sure we always show accumulation estimates for rain and snow (whenever there’s enough precipitation to warrant seeing them.)

• Even more stuff.We fixed bugs, tweaked tons of little things, and added a full-black Home Screen icon for all of you iPhone X pals with pure black backgrounds.

We hope you dig it!

3.1.2

Jan 11, 2018

• Fast Data Source Button (Fan Club)At the bottom of the Forecast view, you’ll see a new Source button. Tap it to quickly change data sources and compare forecasts.

As always, thanks for all the support and sweet reviews + comments! You're the best. <3

Thanks for your patience! :)

3.0

Nov 2, 2017

OOO WEE! WE'RE BACK WITH OUR BEST UPDATE EVER! WE IMPROVED EVERYTHING!

* Super Mega Ultra RedesignWe made the app better in every way: bigger type and icons, bolder colors, and faster navigation. It looks like HOT SAUCE with iOS 11 and iPhone X.

* Radar! (Fan Club only)At long last, we added a super sweet radar view so you can see rain or snow coming your way.

* More Data Sources (Fan Club only)We’ve been fiddling with additional data sources, like Aeris, AccuWeather, and The Weather Channel. Now you can try them too.

* A Million Other ThingsAdding and changing locations is clearer and easier now. Night mode is way better. Settings are nicer. Our upgrade pricing is simpler. All the good stuff is very much gooder-er.

[We would insert happy emojis here if we could, but we can't, so you'll just have to take our word for it]

2.5

SUPER HOT THEMEA great new color theme for the hot summer days when milk was a bad choice.

BUG FIXESOur new widget was acting fussy, so we gave him Tylenol and a warm bottle. Seems better now. Also fixed up some iPad-related brokenness.

Enjoy! Thank you for using Hello Weather! <3

2.4.1

Jun 21, 2017

ALWAYS BE FIXING BUGS• Fixed that the new sharing option would crash the app on iPads.• Updated the new widget to gracefully handle dynamic type sizing.• Other minor improvements and pats on the back and words of encouragement.

2.4

Jun 13, 2017

All New Widget!We redesigned and rebuilt our widget from the ground up. It's soooo much better. Now the widget forecast is FANTASTIC with a 100% chance of AWESOME.

Easy Screenshot Sharing!Want to gloat about your vacation weather, or complain about the rain? Tap the new share icon and send a tidy screenshot to your friends.

UV Index info!During the day you’ll see new info about UV levels—just tap the Right Now section to see it. And don’t forget your sunscreen.

• Weather Data Sources (Experimental!)By default, Hello Weather is powered by Dark Sky’s forecast data—it’s great! But sometimes you need a second opinion. Now you can switch over to Weather Underground’s excellent forecasts too. (We’re still fiddling with this, so your mileage may vary.)

Go to Settings inside the app for these new features and more! As always, thanks for using Hello Weather.

2.2

Mar 22, 2017

NEW STUFF ALERT!* New Weekly Forecast Design: We've been tinkering with the weekly forecast for months and finally found a new version we like. Same great layout, now with low temps (finally!) and icons for each day.* Improved Sizing: Everything scales up for your bigger phones and big iPads.* Night Mode Controls (Fan club only): If you're a night owl, early bird, or just a control freak, you'll like having this option. Now you can make the app dark (or light) when you want it to be (or not.)* Better Precip Estimates (Fan club only): We fixed up the real-time rain+snow chart. Much better now.

2.1

Feb 4, 2017

Hey everyone, it's 2017 and things are kinda weird now. Here are a few sweet updates to brighten your day a bit.

NEW FEATURES FOR EVERYONE* Barometric Pressure — We translated millibars into real human words. This used to be a fan club exclusive, now available to all!* Sailboat Mode — For our pilot and sailor friends: flip a switch to see the wind speed in Knots.

BUG FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS* We improved stability when network conditions aren't the best, so the app should warn you less often about connectivity problems.* Transitioning to night mode is faster, so you're not as likely to be blinded by brightness in the dark.* Restoring previous purchases shows a progress indicator now.* We won't try to charge you repeatedly if you tap a payment button a bunch of times quickly (but still, why would you do that!)

As always, thanks for using Hello Weather! <3

Still Awesome After One Year 👍

So I have been using Hello Weather for a year now (as of this month), and I have to say it’s still an awesome app. The app is always reliable and always works, without all the clutter that most apps have. I really like the fact, that you can select other weather services to compare information (guys you need to keep that, because most apps don’t offer multiple weather sources). The developers also respond quickly to any recommendations, questions, and concerns, which really wins me over (a lot of apps NEVER respond to their customers). If you want a great weather app that is not only visually amazing, but accurate and has all the information without any unnecessary filler GET HELLO WEATHER. I will be renewing my yearly subscription soon! 👍 (and guys thanks for keeping the price reasonable, some weather apps are charging ridiculous amounts of money).

P.S. these guys are so awesome with this app I may just have to invite them for Christmas 👍🙂

Finally, a literate weather app!

I have downloaded & deleted more weather apps than I care to count, but I think this might be the one!

I don’t ask for much in a weather app: I want to be accurate, I want it to give me weather alerts, and I just want to glance at it and see a sentence that tells me the weather forecast. When I wake up I don’t feel like looking at icons and deciphering what they mean, I just want a simple sentence saying it’s 35° and we’re expecting snow this afternoon, or whatever.

Everyone wants different things, but it’s surprising how few apps will actually give you a sentence like that, everyone else seems so obsessed with gimmicky icons to the point of being illiterate, but this app nails it. I also like that I can easily see the hourly forecast and the daily forecast. Good visual chart on the hourly forecast that doesn’t just list the temp, but intuitively shows at a glance if it’s higher or lower. Nicely done guys, keep up the good work.

My FAVORITE weather app of all time!

This is the only weather app I’ve ever seen that I absolutely love! I’ve been using the Weather Channel app for several years, simply because it was merely the most decent one out of a bunch of crappy weather apps, and even the Weather Channel app is wrong almost as often as the crappiest weather apps out there! I love how much specific detail this app provides, such as the percentage of the day’s/week’s chance of rain, how hard it’s expected to rain, even down to the time it’s supposed to start and stop raining! I love how include it includes real-time radar, the ability to customize the colors of your theme, screen brightness (light or dark mode), weather source options, and even includes what the temperature will be every hour! And as if all those features weren’t enough, it’s just a beautiful app altogether. I love, love, love, love this app! I’m a Hello Weather App fan for life!
